Remember how great it was to gather friends at home for gaming sessions with games that are still stored in our memory (and hearts)? Well it’s an experience jam.gg, a social and online gaming platform, comes to the rescue. The formerly beta platform known as Piepacker is finally making its official debut in Brazil and the rest of the world.
OUR jam.gg emerged as a free multiplayer gaming platform with a social hub that promises to offer the opportunity to play with friends or make new friends. Without the need for an expensive console, a fast internet connection, or paying for a subscription, anyone can quickly access a huge catalog of streaming games for entertainment.
100+ retro and modern games
OUR jam.gg offers access to a library of over 100 games, including metal bullet, Earthworm Jim 2, best racer, King of Fighters ’98 and windjammers, which can be played on PC or mobile – only available on the Chrome browser. Just go to the official website and register.
Designed as an open playground for communities, creators and developers, jam.gg will be constantly replenished, while the collection goes far beyond the classics, including author’s and exclusive titles, such as Arsen Bomberand later games, including Overdone!, leaving, There are no heroes here and flaming chromewhich will enter service in 2022.
It’s already a success in Brazil
During the testing period, jam.gg spontaneously fell into the favor of the Brazilians: there are already more than 500 thousand users in the country enjoying the unlimited fun of the platform, which proves our love for good games. In total, there are already more than two million users in the world, and about 35% of them are women.
Official launch jam.gg provides features such as support for up to eight players in one room (always remember to pass when playing with friends!), shared and private rooms, AI-controlled text moderation to ensure that jam.gg remain a welcoming place for everyone. For those who use the controls, jam.gg compatible with almost all popular PC models, and integration for Twitch streams will be available after launch.
“We are very excited about the official launch jam.gg around the world, especially in Brazil, the country with the most users, and we are proud of our local community,” said Benjamin Devien, co-founder and CEO jam.gg. “For a year and a half, the feedback we have received from the public has been very important for us to fix bugs and optimize our platform to make the experience as enjoyable as possible.”
The catalog of games is available at jam.gg fully licensed under agreements currently entered into with 26 publisherssuch as Atari, Team17, SNK, as well as in direct partnership with some independent studios. To run in browsers, all games run on open source emulators licensed under the GPL.
In addition, one of the premium attractions of the platform is Bring your own game (BYOG – Bring your game in Portuguese). This feature allows players to use their own ROMs (from Game Boy to Nintendo 64/PS1) on a private server, and only the host can allow other players access by controlling video and audio output.
Official launch jam.gg also marks the first iteration with a mobile interface. When accessing the beta platform through a mobile phone, you can use a virtual touchpad that works with all games on the service, including games BYOG. On mobile devices, Wi-Fi connections are recommended.
Check out the main features of Jam.gg:
public rooms: This is the newest feature after exiting the beta phase. When selecting a game, users will be able to join an existing public room (depending on proximity or not) or create one. When creating rooms, users can make them public or private. To better set the tone for the public room, users can customize the mood based on their play style: Social, competitive, Opening or Hermits.
